DemoCamp Guelph 19

Invited Speaker

“I’m always excited about our speakers but trust me, you’re going to want to catch what Ben Yoskovitz has to say. Ben really has done it all. When it comes to startups, he’s founded, he’s invested, he’s been acquired, he’s incubated, and he’s even recently authored.

While Ben also brings a unique Canadian experience after having lived in Montreal, Halifax, and now Toronto, he’s able to call Guelph his hometown having grown up here.

DemoCamp Edmonton 26

DemoCamp is an event that brings together developers, creatives, entrepreneurs and investors to share what they’ve been working on and to find others in the community interested in similar topics. For presenters, it’s a great way to get feedback on what you’re building from peers and the community, all in an informal setting. Started back in 2008, DemoCamp Edmonton has steadily grown into one of the largest in the country, with[masked] people attending each event.

The rules for DemoCamp are simple: 7 minutes to demo real, working products, followed by a few minutes for questions, and no slides allowed.
